St Helen's Church, Abingdon, Medieval church in Abingdon, England.
St Helen's Church features a wide architectural layout with a central nave and multiple aisles extending across its substantial interior space.
The church origins trace back to 650 CE, when it served as a minster for the surrounding area near the confluence of Rivers Ock and Thames.
The Lady Chapel contains rare ceiling paintings from 1391, including Old Testament figures and an unusual representation of Christ on a lily.
The northeast tower contains ten bells that ring regularly, while the church office at St Helen's Court manages administrative matters and visitor inquiries.
Three sets of historical almshouses surround the church grounds: Long Alley from 1446, Twitty's from 1706, and Brick Alley from 1718.
